When should ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE be set TRUE?

[EmIScA]

laptop mode is a software that manages power settings of the 
harddisks....that variable is related to it..
see http://packatges.ubuntu.com/laptopmode
It is not too used by people because the advantages using it are not too 
relevant. Try it and choose if use it or not.

Bye
